Probably doubling up as Brake vehicle and PW gang transport / mess coach.
I suppose there are no ideas as to number ?
We are debating as to what to do with our group mess coach restore it ourselves to 1928 Flying Scotsman condition or let someone else do it.

DE 320427 MESS and TOOL VAN LNER Built York 1924, on NYMR since 1979. Owned by YAG, built for the Flying Scotsman set as a Brake Corridor Composite (BCK). Originally numbered 10178 then 1077. Converted to a Riding and Tool van in 1958 withdrawn 1979 and sold to YAG, used until recently as a mess coach on track renewal sites. Now stored awaiting restoration. Possibly back to passenger use.

Our version of the "Ballast Brake"
Very awkward to get a shot of this vehicle as it very rarely emerges from its shed.
As commented on earlier.
